Asso.subsea Installs Inter-Array Cables at Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm
installed and protected a total of 71 cables, being responsible for loading, transportation, installation, protection and backfilling of more than 118km of submarine cables, offering our expertise and extended ability to execute an extremely complex project, thanks to a full vertically-integrated solution”Asso.subsea said the project was characterized by very hard soils and demanding burial requirements, so it designed and built a new trenching vehicle, the AssoTrencher IV Mk13, with an innovative approach to enhance backfilling capabilities. This tool performed more than 100 kilometers
Fred. Olsen 1848 Introduces Floating Solar Array
tank test successfully completed. Fred. Olsen 1848 will install a 150kW pilot in Norway during summer 2023. Following a plan to install a first commercial 3MW unit in 2024, the aim is to deliver further commercial projects from 2025 and onwards. The company says BOLETTE is designed with an integrated solution for operation and maintenance. It is easily scalable and can be tailored to each individual project. All components are easily sourced, and as such, BOLETTE leverages an existing global supply chain and supports a sustainable industry. All components are tagged and can be recycled after decommissio
HAV Group Set to Acquire Undheim Systems, Adding DP Capabilities
Undheim, managing director of Undheim Systems.“Many customers ask us to combine DP systems with our own vessel navigation system when supplying smart control systems for vessel. Until now we have had to acquire DP systems from third-party suppliers. Going forward we can provide a fully integrated solution. This will benefit both HAV Group and our customers,” adds Gunnar Larsen.HAV Group ASA has agreed to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Undheim Systems AS. The purchase consideration includes shares in HAV Group ASA and a cash amount. No details were share on the exact amounts. The
Technip Energies, X1 Wind, Partners to Deliver Important Floating Wind Project
aimed at accelerating industrial-scale floating wind.NextFloat project's main objectives are to demonstrate a competitive, sustainable, and integrated floating offshore wind solution optimized for deep waters and to accelerate the industrial-scale deployment of floating offshore wind. The integrated solution relies on X1 Wind's floating offshore wind technology, which, according to the project partners, allows for a lighter floater design and a reduced steel requirement, as well as a more efficient and compact mooring system, ultimately minimizing the impact on the seabed. The project
Carnegie Launches Wave Energy Device to Power Moored Vessels
growth for wave energy with a €653b market potential by 2050," Carnegie said.According to Carnegie, MoorPower can be deployed for any type of moored vessel and is not limited to fish farming. Carnegie’svision for the MoorPower™ product is that the technology will be an integrated solution with other offshore renewable energy systems including hydrogen and batteries, the company said
The New WASSP W3P
WASSP released the W3 integrated wireless unit for real-time tender mapping within a portable bracket mounted unit.WASSP W3P is designed to provide 3D real-time seafloor mapping with wireless transmission to a mothership. The integrated solution, provides transducer, processor, transmitter, position sensors, wifi and bracket mounted pole in a fully contained product. With a simple bracket mounted attachment, the W3P only requires a power connection to allow real-time 3D bathymetry mapping of the sea floor from a tender which can be transmitted back in real-time to a mothership at distances up to 2 Nm.
Kongsberg Tech for China-built Offshore Wind Turbine Installation Unit
company OIM Wind, with an option for another vessel of identical design. The vessel, expected to be delivered in 2022, will be suitable for transporting and installing multiple sets of next- and future-generation wind turbines, and their foundations.For this unit, Kongsberg will deliver its Integrated Solution for Wind Turbine Installation Units."This well-proven solution combines KM’s motion control, propulsion and dynamic positioning functionalities to maintain operability in all conditions," the company said.VIDEO: Huisman's Crane for OIM Wind's Offshore Wind Installation
EvoLogics Launches a Fully integrated USBL Buoy
EvoLogics debut a new USBL buoy, a fully integrated solution based on the company’s S2C USBL devices.The buoy comprises a USBL transceiver with a built-in battery, mounted to a floating unit with an on-board PC, GNSS receiver with dual antennas, and a Wi-Fi access point.The design concept of the system derives from fishing floats that remain highly stable even in rough seas thanks to their long stems and minimal cross-section near the surface.This allows the elongated buoy to remain stable in harsh conditions, and when deployed close to a vessel hull or pier walls, where the waves are taller.
Equinor Taps into DUG's Tech for Seismic Processing
Norwegian energy giant Equinor has signed a multi-year deal with supercomputer group DUG Technology, covering seismic processing and imaging technology.Under the agreement, DUG says, Equinor will replace existing third-party technology with an integrated solution using DUG McCloud, a platform that allows clients to mix and match DUG's high-performance computing as a service (HPCaaS), seismic processing and imaging (P&I) services, and the DUG Insight geoscience software.DUG McCloud includes disk storage and an online archive facility that allows web-based data visualization.
